From the article: Dispelling the Math Myths
Studying for math often means doing the math. For me it means going through my old notes and analyzing the errors I've made in the past. Being able to determine where I've gone wrong will help me not to make those same mistakes twice. I tend to focus on analyzing the pattern of errors. I also find worksheets with similar questions to do. Reading through my math notes doesn't tend to work for me. Doing exercises, problems and questions is what works for me. Not only that, a positive attidude can go a long way too! Share your tips/tricks

Tips for improving scores

Yes I agree with your tips and my own strategy is to be clear with all concepts we have in syllabus and NOT to start a new topic before the test, if any. Also I use better presentation in order to improve scores, like trying to bring '=' signs below each other, drawing dividint lines where necessary, etc.
